What Do you think of GS400?

Definitely an awesome bike.

I was talking about lexus gs400 bro! lol

[Nerdsrock22]

Just clownin'.

They're great cars man. Takes relatively deep pockets to maintain from what I hear.

Ugly as fuck with no potential to look good.

I beg to differ sir! this is a gs300, but you get the idea...

Yeah, they are ugly....can't be modded to be fast at all.....aren't reliable.....you are the most positive person on this entire board......and I don't have to pay my mortgage anymore now that Obama is in office too......(I can't figure out how to use smilies or I'd insert a giant "rolling eyes" uber sarcastic one right here.)

The car STOCK is extremely reliable with just general maintenance. The GS4 is nowhere near as popular, on the road, as the GS3 (which is the exact same car except for the drivetrain). The GS4 has many easy and affordable "mods", but it won't make it some kind of street killer. Most people start with intake/ecu and exhaust combo. From there, most move onto the suspension and brakes. After that, all that is left is "look" mods or ultra expensive custom performance mods. This is where the car gets really expensive in the mod world. The engine STOCK can handle very mild boost w/o any problems. If you get serious, then you gotta have deep pockets, patience, and committed. The powertrain is very popular in other parts of the world, so sometimes that is where you will have to source specialty parts for the big projects.

My suggestion, from experience, is to get the car and do the intake/ecu, exhaust, suspension, wheels, and mild body upgrades. The car is basically "stock" and will run awesome, sound awesome, and run for decades w/o ever giving you a problem. Be sure to keep up with ALL of the preventive maintenance and you will be more than happy. If you want to go nuts with it, I'll be happy to give you a run down on my personal experience for you to think about. Just be warned that it's not for the faint at heart or shallow pockets. Unfortunately for us, our cars are not anywhere near "mainstream" for mods, so a lot of those have to be full custom-made.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot Jaime! Your advice really helps man, i will be sure to come to you also when i get my GS400 hopefully. I'm not really into the GS300 but why is it more popular ? Is it because its a little bit cheaper? Engine? More easier to find? Anyways thanks for your advice, will hit u up. How long have you been owning your gs4?

The GS3 is more popular for two reasons: Initial price and 2jz motor (for those that want to mod their car from the get go).

I've owned mine since 03. Started "modding" it w/i 2 days of having it. Haven't stopped since......
